      -          - Abstract:            The shapefile AllChinaCoalMines represents point locations of coal mines in China from maps in the "Atlas of solid fuels and nonmetal resources of China" published in 2001. The shapefile format can be viewed using ArcGIS or any software package that supports this data format.            Purpose:
          - The shapefile is intended for use in a GIS project to display the locations of coal mines in China.
